The automation of the U.S. Army has made the job of taking care of Soldiers and equipment more effective while fighting the Global War on Terror. Automation has introduced technology that allows the Army to move into the future. Our paper will...
This monograph examines the Navy's Composite Warfare Commander doctrine, and attempts to determine potentially relevant adaptations for Army Force XXI tactical command and control. Initially the monograph conducts a detailed study of the Navy's...
This monograph explores automated command and control for the brigade battle staff. It examines the Army personnel policies and data transmission capabilities, and concludes that the staff is in danger of data and task overload. The paper describes...
This monograph analyzes battalion level tactical decision making to determine if an automated system can facilitate decision making during combat. Danger, exertion, uncertainty, and chance are battlefield conditions under which the commander must...
This study investigates the automation problems that were encountered in support of personnel accounting and strength reporting during Operation DESERT STORM. This is of particular interest because of recent efforts to offset force structure...
The end of the 20th Century presented the United States Army a new technological and geopolitical environment. The Army has recognized this change and is adapting to operate in this new environment. The army has developed a number of new...
The specific purpose of this thesis is to evaluate Army Telecommunications Automation Concepts and determine the feasibility of the Army's establishing a centralized facility or organization for control and management of communications computer...

The Army is undergoing change. The Army is transforming into a lighter, more readily deployable and efficient fighting force. These changes are evident when one takes into consideration the vast amount of electronic advancements made within the...
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Army has developed and adequately reticulated a doctrine for the employment of the automated Maneuver Control System (MCS). Although MCS has been fielded in three U.S. Corps and taken to war,...
This monograph examines the capabilities of the heavy division (Armor and Mechanized Infantry Division) G2 and ACE to conduct collection management operations. It focuses on emerging ACE/ASAS concept of operations to determine if this system of...
Synchronization, "the ability to focus resources and activities in time and space to produce maximum relative combat power at the decisive point," is a tenet of US Army doctrine. This monograph reviews the concept of synchronization at the...
This monograph examines the effect on the division command and control system of developing automation. As twentieth century war has gained in complexity, the U.S. Army has attempted to improve the means available for tactical command and control....
Nearly every armor force in the world has fielded, is fielding, or is designing a 3-man tank. This paper deliberately steps away from the purely technical argument associated with this effort. It seeks to find out if the United States Army is...
This study investigates the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS), an automated, tactical command and control system. JTIDS is being developed to enhance coordination of air defense operations in joint and combined operations. This...
The Army has seen great change over the years. Technology has improved and the threats against our country are changing as well. In order for the United States Army to maintain its superpower status in the world, we must also change. Adapting to...
This study analyzes past efforts to introduce automated systems into existing military and civilian organizations. Six fundamental principles for successful implementation of automated support to management are derived and then applied to the U.S....
